Queen Mary to return to service

I have read reports that a Las Vegas entertainment company wants to buy the Queen Mary and restore her for transatlantic service. Ridiculous in my opinion but we will see what happens

It will coast a fortune to restore her and make her seawprth for Solas. They could build a new one cheaper than that will cost them.

My Signature Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me! I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

why would they want to take a steam ship away when it's been there since 1966 they can't take the Queen Mary a lot of people would like to see it and it was on of the fastist ships in the world the time the steam ships were around.

Ah, we have had this same topic last month. I think we all decided that this was a scam.
